Serpentes: Anniversary Edition

Serpentes is back

An updated offering of blissful boomer arcade goodness. It's Snake, but every fruit has 5 effects assigned to it randomly. Eat the fruits to reveal their effects, then use them to your advantage... or die trying.Based on a hellishly addictive hidden gem made by Benjamin Soulé in 2015, this new Serpentes got a second serving of 11 fresh new fruits to unlock, mix, and match with the old ones, featuring new mechanics, reworked old ones, and a new original soundtrack by Pentadrangle.

Boomer Arcade at its crunchiest

Select two bonuses to start your run, then score the best possible score in 60 seconds. Death is inevitable, but dying only means retrying the very next second, as the fruits' properties get reshuffled. As you reach higher scores and fill up the leaderboard, you'll unlock new bonuses to select at the start, and new fruits to mix into the game for new effects.

Strategize on the fly

The fruits have 5 rows of properties. The first row is simply score. The second one adds and removes lengths of tail. The third one adds enemies, obstacles, it makes your snake faster, and some other fun things. The fourth row makes your next fruit more valuable, or maybe you'll get a wider selection of fruits, or you'll get a way to destroy some of the enemies and obstacles. Finally the fifth row holds a variety of powerful bonuses and mini-games that play through the game of Snake.Complete a row on all the fruits to get 20 extra seconds on the timer. Quickly pick up 5 of a same fruit to unlock its fifth property. Try different priorities. Adapt your strategy to the effects you uncover. Or die and restart. After all, a run is just 1 minute.

Controls

Plays entirely with the keyboard, or with a gamepad. (keyboard still required to input your name at least once for the leaderboard)Use directions to move your snake, and hold them to move faster. That's it.
